way replied the son of Ham I purchased a new suit the other day and last night was the first time I wore it I went out to call on friends show them my new clothes and had a good time visiting around that I didnt get home till breakfast time I called my wife and asked her te me some breakfast She wanted to know where I had been and I told her spending the night with friends She was like a thundercloud and when she got out or bed pitched into me with her fists and the first thing I knew my new suit was torn oft She drove me out of the house and told me I hadnt any business coming around and asking her to get breakfast Shes my wife Just the same and I think any man has a right to have his wife arrested when she tears up his clothes and refuse to get breakfast Want Boy to Claim

Temples Telegram Mrs Temples Telegram a drama tlaed laugh in three acts which such a decided hit at Madison Square Theater New York and Powers Chicago will be the attraction the Belaaeo Theater week commencing Monday October S Wednesday and Sat- urday matinees This noted comedy is said to be the one survival of Charleys Aunt Jane and The Private Secretary- It a rollicking as a Hot farce and by the way includes in the caatof play- ers an old Hoyt Interpreter Harry Conor It tilled with clean whole some fun generally supplied with a cause for hearty Laughter end yet not wanting that cleverness which appeals to the intelligence and f the audience The story of Mrs Temples Telegram Is that of a married who having been caught high in air la a Ferris wheel the machinery of which was broken Is kept there all night Returning hom In the morning he en- deavors to tell his wife the truth about th matter but she does not believe him so he resorts to a lie instead It is the apparently innocent subterfuge that Involves husband wife and friends- in all sorts of complications which keeps the audience In one continual rear of laughter from the time the curtain rises to the final scene Among the more prominent members of cast may b mentioned Harry Conor and Miss Sadie who has been starred in such wellknown New York sueceaeefi as TIff Pall Pouf Last Marriage Turtle Diplomacy and Dr Bill C l

Dlxons play is anything but con- ventional it strikes out on now lines front beginning to end the interest of the audtenve la sustained at the highest pitch and the climaxes are Intensely thrilling One of the most Interesting features of this play is the large number of characters portrayed It has been claimed that the play is a bitter attack on the negro race A careful observa- tion will point out that such Is not the case The play shows live distinct types of the negro One the captain t t the guard lo of course a negro brute and beast SMlrs Lynch lieutenant gov- ernor of South Carolina Is an educated mulatto a man of ability and one who should have done something toward the of his own race but misled by the false protestations of Northern fanatics he falls late ruin and disgrace simply because he has deserted his own color Mock the old sheriff Is also for a time misguided but as soon as he come in contact with the mysterious Ku Klux Klan he repents of his mis deeds and from that time Is a good re liable and respected negro Nelse and Eve th old family servants true and faithful to their old master are types of the best development of the colored race They are liked by everybody and their mate sense o humor makes their appearance on the stage doubly delight- ful It will thus be seen that no play has ever before so completely shown on stage the various phases of the negro character Majestf Anna Day in When Knight heed Was in Flewer It la not surprising that Anna Day who appears at the Majestic Theatre the week commencing Monday October- S with the usual matinees on Monday Wednesday and SaturdayS should now be announced as Princess Mary the winsome heroine f Charles Majors beautiful novel When Knight hood Was in Flower Her triumphant career Is absolute proof that wom- an known to tho drama Is within the scope of her wonderful dramatic abU ity and finely studied art In the charm of her own personality in her beauty and In the glory of her great eyes one might also imagine Charles Majors willful and lovable heroine to have stepped from the pages of romance nn the actuality of the stage Like the fascinating creature she Impersonates- she Is gifted with the power to move with her tears and to cheer with her merry pranks Beauty of face and figure a most fascinating presence eyes that beam with gentleness or flash with the fires of great emotion a beau- tiful voice that soothes with Its softness or thrills with passionate utterances winsomeness and the demeanor of a gentlewoman and you have Anna Day the Mary Tudor of Romance The Interest dues not center wholly about the actress Miss Day but Is di vided partly with her play dramatized from Charles Majors beautiful novel by Paul Kester The entire story as it Is In the book te told In the play and yet while Mr Kester has preserved all the charm and atmosphere of the novel he has successfully avoided making his drama too discursive In choosing the supporting cast Ernest Shlpinan has

aallor in Uncle Sams navy and to theufelnmg h received then he attributeshis strength
When 1 was a sailor he said theyhad wooden ships and iron men Nowthey hav Iron nd wooden menI dont mean any reflection on the JackTars of today by that he continuedbut In the oM days things were differ-

Supt W A McFarland of the District Water Department has evolvedwhet is regarded as the most remarkable curd index system In InGovernment departments FederalDistrict It took that energetic superInteudent and his force six yearswork It out and It cost 8000 To soythen that he guards it with a jealouseye expresses but mildly the warmth olhis affection for official dopsheet to the parlance ofgambler
This cud index system laa method of accurately recordingfoot of pipe la the District water sarvice some 4M mites In all While ittrue that nearly all of tho workmen con-
nected with Superintendent McFarlends department carry In their mindseye the location of these various pipe
yet in the event of a green handbeing sent out to make repairs andnot knowing exactly where to go thtatracing system ie simply invaluableWhenever a break or a leak In the sys-tem Is reported no matter how Insig-nificant the workman sent to repair Ithas only to refer to this Index to findhis exact destination without untiHe-esary delay The card Index Is so ar-
ranged that the city is divided into dis-
tricts each district having a certainnumber of cards to record the story ofIta pipe lines and water mains Kachsection of pipe has a number to correspond with one in the index togetherwith a description of the pipe the vol-
ume of water It carries end its exactlocation It may be plainly seen thenthat in ease of a break anywhere alongthe line it but a few minutes tohave a gang of workmen on the sconethe street torn up and the section ofpipe repaired in a Jiffy The wholescheme is right In line with whet Super-intendent McFsrland thinks is ataB-jluteiy essential In straightening out theIntricacies of a busy department sys-

Mr Dlxons play is anything but con-
ventional it strikes out on now linesfront beginning to end the interest ofthe audtenve la sustained at the highestpitch and the climaxes are Intenselythrilling
One of the most Interesting featuresof this play is the large number of
characters portrayed It has beenclaimed that the play is a bitter attackon the negro race A careful observa-tion will point out that such Is not thecase The play shows live distinct typesof the negro One the captain t t theguard lo of course a negro brute andbeast SMlrs Lynch lieutenant gov-ernor of South Carolina Is an educatedmulatto a man of ability and one whoshould have done something toward the
of his own race but misledby the false protestations of Northernfanatics he falls late ruin and disgracesimply because he has deserted his owncolor Mock the old sheriff Is also fora time misguided but as soon as hecome in contact with the mysteriousKu Klux Klan he repents of his misdeeds and from that time Is a good reliable and respected negro Nelse andEve th old family servants true andfaithful to their old master are types ofthe best development of the coloredrace They are liked by everybody andtheir mate sense o humor makes theirappearance on the stage doubly delight-
ful It will thus be seen that no playhas ever before so completely shown on
stage the various phases of thenegro character

tiful voice that soothes with Its softnessor thrills with passionate utteranceswinsomeness and the demeanor of agentlewoman and you have Anna Daythe Mary Tudor of Romance
The Interest dues not center whollyabout the actress Miss Day but Is divided partly with her play dramatizedfrom Charles Majors beautiful novelby Paul Kester The entire story as it
